Abstract:
The superplastically formed structural assembly includes first and second structural members having facing surfaces. The first and second structural members can include a first outer structural member, a second outer structural member or at least one intermediate structural member. In one embodiment, the first and second structural members include first and second outer structural members. In another embodiment, the first and second structural members include first and second intermediate structural members. The structural assembly includes at least one friction stir weld joint joining the first and second structural members. In one embodiment, the facing surface of the first structural member is at least partially covered with oxide to prevent thermo-compression welding of the first and second structural members adjacent the at least one friction stir weld joint. In another embodiment, the facing surface of the second structural member is at least partially covered with oxide.
Abstract:
A method of creating a weld to connect a first element to a second element, said elements being arranged in a wellbore (1) containing a wellbore fluid, is provided. The method comprises selecting a welding path along which the weld is to be created, selecting a volume portion of the wellbore, in which selected volume portion said path is located and sealing said selected volume portion from the remainder of the wellbore volume, and providing pressure control means (12, 16) for controlling the fluid pressure in said selected volume portion. The pressure control means is then operated so as to reduce the fluid pressure in said selected volume portion to a selected pressure at which the weld can be created, and the weld is created along the selected welding path.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zum Verschweißen von Werkstückteilen mittels Laserstrahlen, wobei die aus Kunststoff bestehenden Werkstückteile zumindest in einem Fügebereich derselben aneinandergelegt sind. Erfindungsgemäß werden die Werkstückteile gleichzeitig entlang linienförmiger Fügeabschnitte (7) verschweißt. Zu diesem Zweck sind eine Mehrzahl von Laserstrahlquellen (11) an einem den Werkstückteilen zugewandten Ende eines Laserschweißkopfes (1) angeordnet.
Abstract:
A heating furnace tube, a method of using the same and a method of manufacturing the same which have been developed with a view to eliminating inconveniences occurring when a carbon-containing fluid is made to flow in the heating furnace tube. The heating furnace tube which comprises a rare earth oxide particle distributed iron alloy containing 17-26 wt.% of Cr and 2-6 wt.% of Al. The method of manufacturing this heating furnace tube which comprises the steps of forming or inserting an insert metal on or into at least one of a joint end portion of one heating furnace tube element and that of the other heating furnace tube element, bringing these two joint end portions into pressure contact with each other directly or via an intermediate member, and diffusion welding the two heating furnace tube elements to each other by heating the insert metal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for attaching a first element (1) of a first material to a second element of a second material by a welding process, said two materials being substantially not weldable to each other, said first element (1) being connected to a third element (3) of said second material, which third element (3) is brought in contact with said second element (2), whereafter said third element (3) is welded to said second element (2) via a throughgoing hole (4) in said first element (1), and for the purpose of providing a product with reduced weight and a method which is suited for automatic equipment, it is according to the present invention suggested that there is used a third element (3) comprising a substantially cup-shaped means (3a) having an extending collar (3b) at its open end (3c) and being arranged with a close fit in said hole (4), whereafter the bottom (3d) of said substantially cup-shaped means (3a) is welded to said second element (2).

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for assembling electroconductive parts by electric current heating. Said method is characterised in that it consists in moving forward electrodes (10, 20) with different polarities, towards the parts (30, 40) to be assembled, and in contacting said electrodes with at least one of the parts (30) to be assembled, current being applied to said electrodes (10, 20). Thus, the electroconductive parts (30, 40) are locally heated and assembled by the current flowing through them to pass from one electrode to the other. The invention also concerns a device for implementing said method and its use for assembling hollow parts, tubes or large dimension objects with sheet metal or other hollow parts.
Abstract:
A laser device (L, G, T) is placed on a frame (B) rotatably supporting the holder of a working head (T) of the device, and the device is housed along with the frame in a container (c) attached to a tube extending therethrough during the working process. The mass of the container and its contents considerably reduces the transmission of stress from the tube to the working head.
